Am I the only one who thinks this is silly?

I'd rather see them try to break the record for most browsers downloaded with BitTorrent during the first week of release.

Marketing can seem silly when you're looking at it from a different perspective.

Indeed. This world record stunt got quite a few media mentions, and while I'm sure they would have gotten a lot without it because of the release, this likely generated even more publicity.

This was custom-designed for the needs of all of the firefox download parties tonight to be projected up on the wall.

There's a party 2 blocks from where I am I could check it out.

I have to admit, using Safari is a much more aesthetically pleasing experience than Firefox. Firefox is definitely more "geeky" and has great development tools though. The current version of Safari is a bit buggy, so I'm back to Firefox until Safari gets fixed.

Doesn't seem to be loading correctly...

You have to wait a second for it to load, even after it looks like it is loaded.

I'm also having trouble. It also seems like the counter stoped! The load seems to be a bit much, either through the downloads or through the viewers of the counter :-)

The site didn't go live until 11:16am PDT, so we're a tiny bit behind...we'll catch up fast though.

Go downloads go!
